On August 5 at around 11 a.m., a peculiar incident got a man shot by Las Vegas cops just outside a church filled with children. The man was identified to be 25-year-old Jason Funke, from Minnetonka, Minnesota, who happens to be the 490th finisher in the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event that just concluded last month.
Funke was seen completely naked, sitting and lounging outside the Life Spri[...] Read more » Naked poker player shot by cops outside church full of kids in Las Vegas

This guy must have been drugged out of his mind to do this. It must have been pretty terrifying for the people witnessing this and i am glad that no one else was hurt

So, this guy finished in 490th place and cashed nearly $25,000 in this year's WSOP main event? What did he spend his money on? On gambling, booze, drugs, and wild women? Had he been playing high stakes strip poker in an underground casino somewhere in Las Vegas prior to his shameful arrest for indecent exposure?
So young and already having the bad life habits, I would give a lot to have his age and have his cash bank balance and energy to try to build something solid to have a better life later... what a shame.

lsd marijuana and alcohol is a great combination me ponders, though there is really no need to flash your anus in public especially holding a gun in you hand... yeah they don't call las vegas the sin city for nothing do they...

Make America Great Again. Drug until you lose your mind. Maybe you can also violate a child after drug and alcohol. You are following the footsteps of the Catholic priests. Americans are a nation of drugs and the government is the main narcotics trafficker. A shame. Drugs, crimes, guns, thieves and robbers etc etc etc. Bad democracy has this country and normal people always suffer because of bad people

The drugs along with the booze and his problems were enough to get him there. The good thing is that he got shot on the shoulder only. And besides he is in big trouble now, he has a difficult road ahead of him.
Drugs alcohol and ultimately insane behavior .... whatever you were famous and popular person you need to observe what that limits .... this person clearly crossed the border of the reasonable and eventually received a punishment for it .... do not be so

That is by far one of the most weird things I have ever seen! Not only do you get cctv from a nearby building, but also the body cam of the cop........... I'm always a little surprised by the crazy behaviour of poker players...it's like it's an affliction at times. I just kinda wonder where the dog caught hold of once the guy had been downed by the cop?

Yes i toi think that drugs can make you a complete fool, like some people on this forum say, they do trouble to you brain and sometimes only one time you use drugs can be very bad amd you feel this effect for all of your life. Of course not all drugs are so bad.

It wasnt the first time they used military personnel to do experiments. And i bet it won be the last one. Its like the free resource of guineas for some countries. Put them on the test and whatever it comes. They are "serving" their country at the end according to the ones using them. right?

Mobsters, take a lesson from this. When people ask "can I turn pro and quit my job?", this is what happens. If you're not 100% certain that you can be competitive, don't be delusional and make poker the sum of your hopes and dreams for the future. Gambling attracts the mentally ill, we all know this.

Yea, you dont need to combine all these to lose your mind eventually.
And they sure have given a new meaning to "meditation" Is that really what meditation is? Cause according to the article he was meditating, before he lost it completely
